So after having the best-selling game of last year AND Suicide Squad being a horrifically embarrassing disaster (and while we're at it Multiversus also being a trainwreck), of course WB's announced they intend to move into focusing exclusively on live service games. Are they having Nero play his fiddle while the whole thing burns?

They're more focussed on what makes money for other people than what actually makes money for them. It's the same line of thinking that saw the Snyderverse build to a justice League movie when they hadn't made a proper batman film or a superman that did him justice.

And this game also somehow manages to make their character designs even worse than the Avengers game. How was that possible?

A game no one asked for, when the public learned about it, they made it clear they very much did not want it. But, WB persisted.

Jesus it's like they're not even trying... you'd think they'd want their first season thing to be big... to show oh we're totally going to remain devoted to this game that none of you are playing... But... 2 cut scenes... no new mission or enemy types? Joker and Harley don't interact... what the f*** is the point of any of this?

To try and wring out a few bucks based on people's misplaced affection for the Joker before shutting down the whole thing. Management know salvaging it would be expensive and take years to do, like we saw with No Man's Sky and Cyberpunk, and WB only care about the short term gains even if association with an inferior product with no support will be catastrophic long term. I would be amazed if every exec at WB gaming didn't have their golden parachute ready by the door at this point as they know the whole thing will be sold the first chance Zaslav gets, and every exec above them is banking on another megamerger within the next few years so has ne foot out the door too. WB in general is people looting a house fire, hoping to get out with as much as they can before the structure falls on the people trapped inside. Helping those people is not a consideration.

That Joker looks f***ing terrible they had to rush an idea of it being a Joker from before he became a big super villain because the Joker of the universe they decided to start with is dead... also the fact that his traversal option is a rocket powered Umbrella is really stupid... since... there's already a criminal that has gimmicked umbrellas as his main thing and it's not the Joker.

It's like they and everybody else took the wrong lessons from Fortnite when it comes to being live service.
I've never played Fortnite, but it's free and rakes in money because it's constantly giving new content, and the studio is always working on it. Suicide Squad cost money, and the new content is stuff you've already done and ain't worth it, and it seems to be a skeleton crew after only a few months.

I've largely heard the gameplay itself is fine, it's just kind of unremarkable and surrounded by a lifeless grinding chore of a game and an awful story.

It seems super repetitive, and each character pretty much play the same.
